dc.descriptionData assimilation refers to the process of obtaining an estimate of a system's state using a model for the system's time evolution and a time series of measurements that are possibly noisy and incomplete. However, for practical reasons, the high dimensionality of large spatiotemporally chaotic systems prevents the use of classical data assimilation techniques. Here, via numerical computations on the paradigmatic example of large aspect ratio Rayleigh-Benard convection, we demonstrate the applicability of a recently developed data assimilation method designed to circumvent this difficulty. In addition, we describe extensions of the algorithm for estimating unknown system parameters. Our results suggest the potential usefulness of our data assimilation technique to a broad class of situations in which there is spatiotemporally chaotic behavior.
